T400 + Win 7 + Access Connections = can't see connected WLAN

#1 Post by xxPaulCPxx » Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:08 am

On Win7 Pro, Access Connections 5... I can't see the Wireless network profile that I am currently using.

I'm connected - but it doesn't show up in the map, and it doesn't show up in the list.

In the tray, I can see that Windows can see the network and shows it's connected.

So it looks like Access Connections isn't handling the wireless anymore - any idea of how to get it back?

I never dabbled too much with Access Connections. I find that Windows connects well with my router at school, home, and other WIFI hotspots I sometimes will use. I've uninstalled Access Connections and continue to do so with every Thinkpad that passes through my hands. Things work fine and my Thinkpads that I've worked on past and present work just fine.

I don't disagree, but that's me.

I'd like to keep the Thinkpad software preloaded on there working correctly.

Cool. 8)

I can only guess and say that you might want to be a little patient here. Someone who uses Access may offer some suggestions. Have a good day :)
